Feedback from Grant Participants at Child Care and Development Fund Lead Agencies Meetings

_{OMB Control Number:} 0970-0401; Expiration Date: 6/30/2024

Center to Support Research and Evaluation Capacity of CCDF Lead Agencies (CSRE) Meeting Feedback from Grant Participants

The purpose of this voluntary information collection is to solicit feedback from participants of the community of practice meetings run by the Center to Support Research and Evaluation Capacity of CCDF Lead Agencies (CSRE). The participants are ACF grant team members participating in any of the Communities of Practice (CoPs) which are aiming to support cross-project support and collaboration. Participant feedback will be collected during or after the community of practice meetings (including annual meetings) through a link to an online survey, a paper form, or a small group discussion. This feedback will help the government understand the grant recipients’ experiences and preferences and will be used to improve future meetings and other supports for these grant recipients.

NOTE: The feedback form included with this request includes a universe of possible meeting feedback questions. The feedback form will be administered up to 4 times across 24 months.

A question may be asked more than once, using alternate versions of the information in brackets. We also may make additional small tweaks in wording to fit the circumstances. Many of the questions are drawn from previously approved polls for the individual Communities of Practice over the past 3-4 years (i.e., the CCDBG, CCPRP-2019, PROSPR, or CCPRP-2022 Community of Practice) but approval to use them has lapsed or they are only allowed to be used for one Community of Practice.
